Along with the emergence of green plants on this planet one billion years ago, the
nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeat (NLR) gene family originated and diverged into at …

Carnivorous plants are able to attract small animals or protozoa and retain them in their
specialized traps. Later, the captured organisms are killed and digested. The nutrients …

Carnivorous plants are mixotrophs that have developed the ability to lure, trap, and digest
small organisms and utilize components of the digested bodies. Leaves of Drosophyllum …

The digestive organs of carnivorous plants have external (abaxial) glands and trichomes,
which perform various functions. Dionaea muscipula Ellis (the Venus flytrap) is a model …

Subgenome dominance after whole-genome duplication generates distinction in gene
number and expression at the level of chromosome sets, but it remains unclear how this …

Leaves of the carnivorous sundew plants (Drosera spp.) secrete mucilage that hosts
microorganisms, but whether this microbiota contributes to prey digestion is unclear. We …

Carnivorous plants in the genus Byblis obtain nutrients by secreting viscous glue drops and
enzymes that trap and digest small organisms. Here, we used B. guehoi to test the long-held …

The evolutionary roots of carnivory in the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) stem from a
defense response to plant injury caused by, eg, herbivores. Dionaea muscipula aka …

Soybean is a globally important legume crop which is highly sensitive to drought. The
identification of genes of particular relevance for drought responses provides an important …

The morphology of insect-induced galls contributes to defences of the gall-inducing insect
species against its natural enemies. In terms of gall chemistry, the only defensive …
